Question

Abigail colors 80% of the total shapes on her paper. She colors 36 shapes. Enter the number of shapes on Abigail's paper.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up the following equation:

$\frac{80}{100} = \frac{36}{N}$

where $N$ is the total number of shapes on Abigail's paper.

Let's first multiply both sides by $N$:

$\frac{80N}{100} = 36$

Next, let's multiply both sides by $100$:

$80N = 3600$

Finally, let's divide both sides by $80$:

$N = 45$
